Dear Schofield Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I unfortunately had to be out of school for the past two days and missed the staff basketball game, one of my favorite Schofield events. I heard that it was a close game but that the fifth graders prevailed. I also heard that the halftime show and the playing of the national anthem were fantastic. Thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to the fifth grade parents and caregivers who coordinated the event.
5th Grade Field Trip
In addition to the basketball game, our fifth graders also made a trip to Gillette Stadium this week where they toured the stadium and participated in some collaborative challenges. Thank you to the fifth grade teachers, parent chaperones and the PTO for making this trip possible.
MCAS Testing:
The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is scheduled to take place in March, April and May for students in third, fourth and fifth grade. This is part of our ongoing efforts to assess student progress and ensure every student is reaching their full potential. While it is an important measure, it is just one of many tools we use to gauge student progress and achievement. Assessments of this nature can sometimes bring about stress or anxiety. However, we have confidence in their readiness and will encourage them to approach the test with a serious, yet relaxed mindset. Here are the dates:
